Your full service, family operated automotive shop since 1993.
Our Mission
My name is Mike Allenstein. I have been in the Automotive Repair business for over 45 years. I have worked, operated, owned and/or managed independent repair shops, service stations and dealerships. Over the years I have seen this business change drastically with demands for higher gas mileage, lower emissions and computerized engine management systems. Consumers, the drivers of the automobiles, have to have a reliable, honest, ethical repair shop that they can trust. Golden Wrench Automotive is that type of shop. I pride myself with the ability to explain clearly the repairs that you might need on your vehicle.
Stop in and chat with me, take a look at our lobby wall filled with letters of appreciation from our customers over the years. Look at the certifications of my technicians on the office wall and observe my clean, organized facility. Our goal at Golden Wrench is to provide you with quality automotive care and superior customer service.
From oil changes to engine overhauls, Golden Wrench is your shop, and my qualified staff and I are here for you. We also offer a FREE shuttle service to provide transportation home and back to pick up your vehicle. Rental cars are also available from three, close by, major rental agencies.
